Why hasn’t there been any TV series in the Yuan Dynasty?

I believe that everyone likes to watch historical costume dramas. These costume dramas are true portrayals of historical dynasties. For the costume dramas that are often seen, most of them are from the five dynasties of Han, Qin, Tang, Ming and Qing, especially Qing dynasties. , This should be the dynasty with the most remakes of TV series.

China has a history of five thousand years. It has gone through generations after generations. The long time must be divided, and the long time must be combined. It seems to have become a phenomenon of dynasty replacement in ancient history. In this long history, the dynasties experienced are Xia and Xia. Shang, Zhou, Qin, Han, Wei and Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui, Tang, Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing.

Have watched so many historical dynasty dramas, have you found a problem? In so many dynasties, there is one dynasty that has not been reproduced in any TV series, that is, Yuan Dynasty, Yuan Dynasty As a very important dynasty in the history of our country, there is no TV drama to remake, and it has always been a blank to show this history to the public.

Maybe everyone will have a question. You will definitely say that in 2004, there was a TV series " Genghis Khan ". Isn't that a remake of the history of the Yuan Dynasty?

I can tell you the answer very clearly, this TV series is not Yuan Dynasty history, because Genghis Khan does not belong to the Yuan Dynasty era, let us first understand how the Yuan Dynasty established the dynasty, you will understand.

As everyone knows, the Yuan Dynasty was not a regime established by the Han people, but a dynasty unified by the minority Mongolians. It was the first dynasty established by a minority in Chinese history. The Yuan Dynasty was founded by Kublai Khan in 1271 and died in 1368.

In 1204 AD, the Mongolian leader Temujin occupied the Mongolian plateau through war.

In 1206 AD, Temujin unified all the tribes on the grassland and established the "Greater Mongolian State", known as the first year of Genghis Khan. Genghis Khan was Temujin, and Temujin was his real name.

Mongolian Khanate After its establishment, it has continuously launched foreign wars to expand its territory. The territory extends from the Korean Peninsula in the east, to Poland in Europe in the west, to in the north, Siberia, Russia, and the Persian Gulf in the south. At that time, the territory was about 30 million. The square kilometer is three times the current territory of the motherland, and a superpower has been established across the Eurasian continent.

In 1227, after the death of Genghis Khan, according to Genghis Khan’s will, the third son Wokutai was inherited as Khan_span and the fourth son of the country was the superintendent of . . After Wo Kuotai died, his son inherited the throne of Khan. Two years later, Meng Ge, the eldest son of Genghis Khan's fourth son Torre, was chosen as Khan. After Meng Khan, Kublai Khan became a khan.

Genghis Khan’s fourth son Torre’s fourth son, that is, Kublai Khan. He became a khan and became the last Khan of Mongolia. Kublai established the Yuan Dynasty in 1271 and became the Yuan Dynasty. The founding emperor.

It can be seen that it is completely wrong to say that Genghis Khan was the founding ancestor of the Yuan Dynasty. The Great Mongolian State established by Genghis Khan was only the predecessor of the Yuan Dynasty, and Kublai Khan was the true founding emperor of the Yuan Dynasty. Because Kublai Khan was the grandson of Genghis Khan, it caused many people to misunderstand. And the TV series "Genghis Khan" that everyone said is naturally not about the history of the Yuan Dynasty, so so far, there is no Yuan Dynasty. Historical TV series.

Next, let's talk about why there is no TV series with Yuan Dynasty history?

We all know thatWhen you do anything, you must do something that no one else has done before. That is the most attractive. The same is true for the remake of TV series. The history of the Qing Dynasty is about to be badly filmed, and the remake is no longer attractive. Since the history of the Yuan Dynasty has never been put on the TV screen, why not remake the history of the Yuan Dynasty? Doesn't the great director understand this truth?

is actually not like this. When you understand the truth, you will find that it is not the big directors who are unwilling to remake, but that they dare not shoot. This in the end is why?

did not dare to photograph the history of the Yuan Dynasty for the following reasons:

1. Bloody violence

Genghis Khan, as the leader of the Mongolian people, has always used the brutality of and bloody Mongolian tribes to unify . The style is famous, without this spirit of conquering and killing, I believe it would not be so easy to unify the Central Plains, this spirit has been passed on to his descendants.

As a descendant of Genghis Khan, Kublai Khan certainly inherited this bloody style of doing things, so when the Yuan Dynasty was established, he and his grandfather Genghis Khan’s policies were exactly the same. He has been committed to strengthening the force, attacking the enemy, and occupying infinitely. The vast territory once expanded the territory directly to Europe, becoming an indestructible myth in the history of world wars.

But this kind of excessively violent killing is indeed extremely bloody and cruel. In the records of historical materials, there is such a sentence, "Where the troops of the Yuan Dynasty go, no grass will grow", It can be seen how terrifying the scene was at that time. Just looking at the text describing the killing scenes at that time will cause discomfort, let alone filming into a TV series. I believe that if the history of the time is truly restored with video, it will be difficult to appear on the TV screen.

If it is made into a TV series, first of all, it is afraid that these killing scenes will cause bad visual experience to the audience and cause bad influence on public opinion. If it is reproduced, it will also have a bad influence on this period of history; secondly, it will be for the investors of the TV series. In terms of shooting the history of the Yuan Dynasty, it is indeed a very risky business.If you shoot according to the real history, you may touch the minefield with a little carelessness. If it fails to meet the broadcast standard of the TV station, it is possible that the investment in the filming of the TV series will fall short.

So, whether it is from the perspective of the audience or the investors, I dare not shoot Yuan Dynasty historical dramas. This is the primary reason.

2. There was racial discrimination in the Yuan Dynasty and suppressed the common people

When the Yuan Dynasty was just established, Kublai believed that Jiangshan was not stable. In order to prevent the rebellion and resistance of other races, it was established. A lot of systems were created to maintain the Mongolian aristocratic privileges and suppress other ethnic groups. The most controversial

is the establishment of a racial hierarchy, which divides the people of the country into four classes:


The first class is Mongolian, as the national clan in the Yuan Dynasty, it was regarded as human at that time The nobles of the Master;


The second-class people are the Semu people, referring to people from all ethnic groups in Northwest China, Central Asia, and Eastern Europe who came to the Central Plains;


The third-class people are Han people, that is, under the original Jin rule Han, , Jurchen, , Khitan, Bohai, , Gaoli, as well as people from Sichuan and Yunnan provinces that were conquered by Mongolia earlier; The Han and other ethnic groups under the rule of the Southern Song Dynasty.

These four classes of people have various unequal regulations in terms of status, status, and treatment. Mongolians and Semu people are regarded as high-level people in society, and Han and Southern people are regarded as the lowest-level people.

Because at the time,The Han is the most populous race, and the Mongolians are relatively small, and the small Mongolians come to manage the whole country. The most feared is the Han. Therefore, in the eyes of Kublai, the Han is regarded as the most threatening race, in order to prevent the Han. There are opportunities for rebellion, all the continuous suppression of the Han people, thereby enhancing the status of the Mongolian people, so that the Han people will always be in the lower class of society, unable to stand up.

Economically, Mongolian aristocrats can enjoy all the property of Han and Southern people without labor. We must know that a dynasty in ancient times wanted long-term peace and stability. This is the most basic common sense, but the Yuan Dynasty let Semu people preside over it. State finances, these people only know to plunder the wealth of the people, leading to complaints from the people. If the people don't give it, they will be punished by violence.

In daily life, Han and Nan people must not have any weapons in their homes. Once discovered, the whole family will suffer. In this way, the Yuan Dynasty was always on guard against the Han people, not allowing the Han people to have the opportunity to turn over.

Regarding racial conflicts, the Yuan Dynasty even promulgated heinous regulations. They dare not fight back when they are beaten, and kill people without paying for their lives. If a Han is beaten by a Mongol, even if it is reported to the yamen, no one is in charge of him, and even if a human is killed, only one cow needs to be compensated; but if the Han bullied the Mongol, it would be miserable. Not only must he be executed immediately, but all his property must be paid to the other party.

In addition to these, there are many other hierarchical systems, which have been throughout the entire Yuan Dynasty.

From today's perspective, since the founding of New China, all ethnic groups have been equal. Therefore, this kind of history of the Yuan Dynasty is absolutely impossible to appear in TV dramas.

3. The harem of drunken gold fans

Some people might say that many Qing court dramas are about harem disputes. Since the affairs of the Yuan Dynasty court cannot be made into TV dramas, can it be said that the affairs of the Yuan Dynasty harem Can't it be made into a TV series?

really can't, because compared to other dynasties, the harem of the Yuan Dynasty is really too messy. With the passage of time, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty watched his country become more and more stable, without the sense of worry,I feel that I can enjoy the fruits of my hard work.

is not only the emperor, but also many of the descendants of the royal family, who only know about fun and greed every day, and are immersed in the life of drunken gold fans every day.

At that time, the Yuan Dynasty began to choose concubines wildly, and there was a rule that when the imperial palace chooses concubines, women in the world are not allowed to marry or hide, otherwise it is a crime. Because of this regulation, the number of beauties in the harem suddenly increased to about 10,000. Even if the emperor is lucky enough to be alone a day, so many women will not have their turn to wait until they die.

And in the harem, there is also a mentality of corruption and comparison. Because of the hierarchical system mentioned above, the wealth of the royal family and aristocrats is obtained by squeezing every single cent of the people. So they began to indulge in enjoyment and lead a luxurious and luxurious life. In order to maintain this extravagant and corrupt life, it is necessary to step up the accumulation of people's money. Therefore, corruption and bribery make the people suffer even more.

It is precisely because emperors and royal nobles are obsessed with money and beauty every day. The legend of "sixteen devil" appeared in the harem. In order to enjoy the heavenly devil dancers, the emperors of the Yuan Dynasty specially let people dig secretly in the palace. In the tunnel, sixteen different dancers are selected every day, and there are royal family and nobles living in secret tunnels.

It can be seen that even the chaotic Qing Dynasty in the harem was only intriguing for promotion, but in the Yuan Dynasty, the whole harem was indeed in such a state of drunkenness, corruption, and corruption. How could this kind of harem life be made into a TV series. Compared with the prosperity of Qing palace dramas, the harem of the Yuan Dynasty was destined not to appear in front of people.

4. There are too few historical records

From the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty by Kublai Khan and the end of the Yuan Dynasty, it only took more than 90 years. Compared with other dynasties, this is a very short time. Of the dynasty. Throughout history, the longer the dynasty lasts, the more stories will happen, and the more it is worth discussing by future generations. However, the Yuan Dynasty, which lasted only more than 90 years, did not have much topicality for future generations to discuss and discuss.

Secondly, because the Yuan Dynasty emphasized the development of military force and downplayed cultural development, it did not pay attention to the inheritance of history at all.Therefore, there are very few historical records left, and some things cannot be verified at all. Even the tombs of the emperors have not been recorded, like Genghis Khan’s cemetery, there is no exact statement until now.

Therefore, there are too many things in the Yuan Dynasty without written records, which makes it very difficult to study the history of the Yuan Dynasty. The Yuan Dynasty is really a dynasty with no sense of existence. It is not that the Yuan Dynasty has nothing to study, but that the historical materials left by the Yuan Dynasty are really too few, and later generations can’t understand it in detail. How can you go to make Yuan Dynasty historical dramas? ?

Summary of questions

Based on the above four reasons, everyone should understand why not filming Yuan Dynasty historical drama.

If you shoot according to the real history of the Yuan Dynasty, a lot of Yuan Dynasty history will definitely not appear in the screen. Even if the filming is finished, it may not reach the broadcast standard of the TV station.

If the history of the Yuan Dynasty is beautified, the TV series produced are equivalent to random fabrications. The works produced without respect for history will be even more controversial, and it is easy to mislead young people today.

Therefore, the reason why there are no historical dramas in the Yuan Dynasty is not because nobody did it, but because they didn't dare to do it.
